Description
This 28 page suspense (7 super short chapters) will be a fun read with what some might find a surprise ending. The story is written in most areas at a 5/6 grade reading level (Fry Graph used to estimate level). Included in this purchase is a variety of activities. Do them all or pick and choose.
Here’s what you’ll get:
–a worksheet after each chapter with 6-7 inferential questions to be answered
–a last chapter worksheet with ‘expanded’ answers
—idiom practice
–a mini-lesson of figurative language
–three-page figurative language worksheets (47 examples from the story)
–1st person paper written from the viewpoint of the suspect after the verdict
–53 vocabulary words/definitions typed out for students to have (chapter by chapter)
–four separate vocabulary tests (plus two ‘adjusted’ for students who may benefit having revised tests)
Note: There is a death in this story, but it is touched upon gently and should not create any anxiety.
